Alonzo Depina, 22, fell from a hotel balcony at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. His family is accusing staff of negligence because they allowed access to the balcony, which was otherwise kept locked.

“We are claiming negligence because he got the key to the balcony from hotel staff. The balcony has a railing and ledge that make access to it very easy,” attorney James Harrington told The Connecticut Law Tribune.

In the case, an employee of the Mohegan Tribe was sued in Connecticut court after being involved in a vehicle accident. The tribe itself was removed from the lawsuit due to concerns about sovereign immunity.

Harrington's case against Foxwoods was filed in Mashantucket court, according to The Connecticut Law Tribune and The New London Day.
